Owner/mgmt said they wanted to make the Hawks the Spurs of the east awhile ago.
Ahhh, got you.
I think you're spot on about Augustin, btw. I got to see a lot of him while he was here at Texas. Solid player. He actually proved to be a solid leader the year after KD left. We were actually a better all around team the year after KD's one and done and DJ was a big reason why.
Atlanta vs Spurs in the finals would be something. Pop vs his protege coach bud. Could the student surpass the teacher type series.
Maybe. Maybe....I just see the Spurs coasting and Atlanta beating up on an east that is working out their line-ups and rotations.
In short. As I have ALWAYS done, even last year when it was Heat vs Spurs....unless something major goes down I give the nod to the reigning champ.
Good parallel though. The Heat's shortcomings, because they got fking ROCKED in the finals, were hidden by the Bulls and Indy not being anywhere near 100%. (Or atlanta)
I have the same concern about Atlanta right now. They're good. Championship good though?
So, the Pelicans lose to the Celtics, Sixers, Hornets and the freaking Knicks all in the past 12 days, but beat the Raptors (without Davis & Holiday to boot) Sports are great, isn't it??
Knicks win back to back games for the first time since November 2 when they beat the Hornets 3 days after winning in Cleveland to get to 2-1 on the season. Then they preceded to lose 32 of their next 35 games. They have 39 games left in the season, over/under 8 wins for the Knickerbockers in those final 39 games??
If they can get through some tough road trips and avoid injuries down the stretch they could reach 70 wins.
If so, Curry is MVP and Kerr is COY.
Curry is probably MVP anyway.
